Hello! I’m unfortunately having to move our Class devices & office devices, anything that isn’t going to move on-site to a Hybrid AD deployment as we’ve been having a range of issues with Cloud only, particularly printers… I’ve got the connector for it all setup and I know it works. But, when I come to deploy a device on MDT, I don’t sysprep or anything like that as those days are over for me, I have been able to just deploy the device on a fresh image, and it join the domain, got the GPO setup for automatic enrolment and set to user credentials. One thing I’m concerned with, is that I’d have to wait until someone has logged into that PC for it then to install apps. I just wondered whether there was a way around this? I know I can use the domain join profile in Intune with Autopilot for Existing Devices template on MDT but I can’t get around the 15 characters limit, nothing I put in works. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂 Zak

That worked a treat, thanks so much!

Hi, Just wondering if anyone would be willing to share their HTML Email Signature template, I’ve done our own but wanting to get some inspiration on how to improve our current one. Thank you!

Hello, I've setup an Apple TV app called exhibit which I have used a managed configuration, I just wondered if anyone has used this app and have it setup and working on Jamf School? Thanks, Zak

Hmm... That could work. I'll look into that Thanks!

Yes we could but if two of us in our office need to use it then it doesn't achieve what we want. Is there not a fersion out there with support for 4.8?

Hi All, We currently use PDQ Connect to deploy out Windows Updates and from searching around on the internet there is no way to add a package for .net 3.5. We are wanting to use Bulk AD Users as it's an easy interface and has great features for us to use. Does anyone know how to get it working with .NET 4.8 or something similar as 3.5 isn't working? Thanks

Yes they do, that would probably be the way to go but we used a similar thing in the past never worked. Wanting a script to use the code I provided and run for each user in a security group. I have tested the code and does exactly what I want but cant figure out how to make it apply for everyone in a group.

Hi All, I have found a working solution to create shortcuts in a users OneDrive to SP Libraries which removes the need to have users do it themselves. I need to be able to automate this to only run for users in a group in Office 365, I have tried everything but just need it to run for all users in a certain group. The code connects to MS Graph API and does its magic there and then If I run this New-OneDriveShortcut -Uri "https://farno365.sharepoint.com/sites/ITSupport" -DocumentLibrary "TestLib" -UserPrincipalName "[email protected]" it runs fine for when specifying the users email but not a great solution when there are 200 users in a group. All help most appreciated!

Hi, I've been experimenting with Microsoft PowerApps Service. Happy with how my app has come out so far however the email formatting bit isn't as easy as I thought. When the user enters all the relevant information into the form fields, I have code that will create an email and send it through a mailbox, I would like to have the email not on one line. I have tried using variables to make the email come out as a normal looking one but I can't seem to get it to work. Here is my code (info removed) Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( "[email protected]", "Subject: AV Equipment Booking Request", "Display Name (Requester): " & DisplayNameText.Text & Char(10) & "Location of Event: " & LocationValue.Text & Char(10) & "Date of Event: " & Text(DateEventValue.SelectedDate, "[$-en-GB]dd-mm-yyyy") & Char(10) & "Start Time/End Time: " & StartTimeEndTimeValue.Text ) The email and information works but when I receive the email, it's all on one line. Thanks, Zak

I’ll take a look into this. A HTA might work or a WPF/UWF app maybe? Just want it to show a service status of external things like Office 365 using the graph api, email status, and any internal messages/bulletins. Need to look into it further

Hello, Not sure if this is the right place on the forum but here goes. I have the idea of a widget that sticks to the desktop, it cannot be closed by the user, and it shows service statuses of the network in a minimised view that doesn’t block out the full desktop and shows statuses of external services. I know Microsoft 365 allows you to integrate there services api to show service status etc so would it be possible to make this in a HTA? I wondered whether someone has implemented something similar?

That was a fake scenario I was using, I’m testing intune on a personal dev home tenant and only have 3 laptops to test. If you have 150+ a usb deployment method would really kill your thumbs by the end of the day (no joke intended)

What if you are imaging 150 laptops to Intune, what is the deployment process for that? I wouldn’t want to have to go around 150 laptops with a usb stick personally

Yeah, it’s a fairly easy process getting in touch with them and getting it resolved, going to save the case notes and things for when it might happen again. Scripting is the only way to do stuff like this at the moment without paying for a cloud service to do it! MS need to design some sort of portal that allows you to create signatures and set for certain groups etc, would be a great and overall liked feature!

My signature scripts are working perfectly, I’m not sure if they have updated office/exchange online to correct the issue or not, or it’s just my tenant that have fixed/disabled. Until I know they’ve fixed the issue for all tenants for definite, I’m happy my signatures are setting perfectly!

Exchange online is full of problems at the minute, they’ve broke set email signatures cmdlet

Papercut Mobility print, I have tested this in my development lab and used in a real scenario where I used Google ChromeOs Flex, worked really well, at the time of using it I used a Google workspace tenant, you have the option to use username that links into AD I think, I remember there being an option to use office 365 I think. Was really good for printing off devices like Chromebook’s. Not sure about teacher release, I never looked into anything like that. I think it’s free as well, I never paid! I’d look into it.

Weird, it could be that after it’s been disabled it may just need some time to adjust. Personally, if this tenant isn’t being synced to local AD or anything else and Is purely cloud based only. I’d contact the other head teachers and bm’s asking if they use this tenant and if so go from there. Do teachers even have their own email too? If it was me, I’d start again. Each school have your own tenant, even if you only want 2 email accounts. Start again, make note of admin emails, passwords etc for future reference. It may not be in your power to do this, if so leave it to the other folks to sort.

Did you disable security defaults? I’d be interested to know why mfa would still be asking them to set it up. This whole office 365 setup you seem to have inherited or discovered is a total mess though

Afternoon, Yeah that’s exactly what’s happening to me, it runs without an issue, and updates the property when you run the get *edit *cmdlet not omelet* like you did above and tells me it’s updated, but in browser nothing has been set. My support agent is waiting for the tenants team to get back to him or something so looking forward to getting this resolved. Microsoft need to include things as optional if it’s going to break things that customers/schools/businesses depend on.

When you ran your script when everything broke, did it come with an error of some sort? When I run mine it runs fine and updates the property in Exchange Online but no signature shows in OWA, that’s what I’ve seen with me. Is that something you had too?

Upon browsing some Microsoft documentation, I came across this... Microsoft have enabled roaming signatures for all organisations I remember hearing about so this may be something that if seriously affected by, we need to have a ticket open. [h=3]-SignatureHtml[/h] Note: This parameter doesn't work if the Outlook roaming signatures feature is enabled in your organization. Currently, the only way to make this parameter work again is to open a support ticket and ask to have Outlook roaming signatures disabled in your organization. The SignatureHtml parameter specifies the email signature that's available to the user in HTML-formatted messages in Outlook on the web. You can use plain text or text with HTML tags. However, any JavaScript code is removed. To automatically add this email signature to HTML-formatted messages created by the user in Outlook on the web, the AutoAddSignature parameter must be set to $true.

Yeah, it seems to be a worldwide issue with every Microsoft 365 tenant. Extremely annoying!

Hi all, Microsoft have recently upgraded Outlook Web App for all tenants I believe. I have been using a set email signatures script for nearly a year. Since Microsoft have upgraded their servers, The set-Mailboxconfiguration -SignatureHTML cmdlet no longer works. I have tried absolutely everything to find a work-around but no luck so far except pay companies like CodeTwo. I have been using this email signature script on my personal tenant for testing. Just wondering if anyone knows a FREE service that allows me to set Email Signatures. I know exchange online can set disclaimers but this isn't something I am supportive on implementing as I like to see the email signature set when composing the message. I've tried MS Graph but that doesn't have the functionality to set email signatures. Thanks, Zak
